National Goals Conference: Long Term Supports and Services Strand

National Goals in Research, Practice and Policy for and with People with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities

Setting a National Agenda for Long Term Supports and Services Research, Practice, and Policy In August 2015, a National Goals in Research, Policy, and Practice working meeting was held in Washington, DC to summarize the current state of knowledge and identify a platform of national goals, organized by 10 focus areas, in research, practice, and policy in intellectual and developmental disabilities. The products were developed in each strand for a variety of audiences with the overarching goal of advancing a research agenda that will influence policy and practice for and with people with intellectual and developmental disabilities over the next 10 years.
